International Relations (IR) is the study of the interactions between countries, including the roles of states, political organizations, non-governmental actors, and multinational corporations. It encompasses a wide range of issues, including diplomacy, conflict, trade, international law, and global governance. The field analyzes how states and other entities pursue their interests, manage conflicts, and cooperate in addressing global challenges like security threats, economic development, and environmental concerns. It incorporates various theoretical perspectives, such as realism, liberalism, constructivism, and critical theory, to understand the complexities of global interactions. IR also examines how historical contexts, ideologies, and power dynamics shape the behavior of international actors. Ultimately, it seeks to explain and predict patterns of behavior in the international system, contributing to our understanding of global affairs and policy-making.
